The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee is likely to declare India's squad for the Champions Trophy by January 12 and it is likely that Mohammed Shami will be picked.

With the tournament fast approaching, Shami is keen to ensure his place in the squad, especially after being overlooked for the Australia tour despite being active in domestic cricket across all formats.

Jasprit Bumrah’s Fitness Issues

Jasprit Bumrah is reported to be rested for the forthcoming ODI series at home against England. If the fitness issues persist, Bumrah could well be in a race against time to have his overall fitness right, especially ahead of the Champions Trophy. Thus, it goes without saying that Shami’s selection holds much more significance than one might normally give it, as the team management will look to assess his form in the ODI series against England before making a final verdict.

Final Squad Changes Allowed Till February 13

The provisional squad for the Champions Trophy is expected soon, but the ICC has allowed teams to make changes to their squads till February 13. This flexibility may be a deciding factor for Shami’s inclusion in the tournament, based on his performance and the fitness status of other key players like Bumrah.
